Israeli authorities have confirmed the return of the bodies of Inbar Haiman and Muhammad el-Atrash, who were abducted by Hamas last year. Haiman, 27, was killed at the Nova music festival and was the last female hostage held in Gaza. El-Atrash, a father of thirteen and a tracker in the military, was slain during fighting in the Nahal Oz area. Their bodies were identified by forensic experts after being handed over by Hamas. The government has expressed deep sorrow for the families and reiterated its commitment to bringing back all fallen hostages for burial in Israel.
